Connected Food Futures

Food has long linked us to our environments and to others. Now, from farm to table, technological innovation is making the global food system increasingly connected and complex. At the 2018 FoodInno Symposium, we will cultivate connections across the food supply chain to design collaborative solutions to food system challenges Our 100+ attendees represent the most innovative and creative individuals in our food chain including farmers, chefs, designers, entrepreneurs, academics, and more from all across the world. We will gather to co-create the future of a connected food system.

Can the perception of food waste be reformed to reflect a better future?

Eating is one of the most repetitive behaviors yet most of the time we do it without much reflection. This inspiring group of talented designers is exploring the meaningful moments of making, eating and storing food. The exhibition demonstrates the design of foods, utensils, dining manners, social interactions, and the production methods in an alternative future. We want to invite you into those moments and reimagine the future of our dining culture and food society. Why don’t we eat differently? What is a preferable food future to you?
